Which user are you doing the DESC as on the local DB? Could it be that you are doing it as the user HADAS and so using the private synonym instead of the PUBLIC synonym? If so does the OVDIM database link exists?

Well in my case it was describing the current DB table structure & more interestingly if current DB did not have Table name as that of Remote one then Oracle.exe of Remote DB would geterate errors and Windows will kill that process, hence shuting down remote DB ( Its more Stranger(Misterious) than Urs ).

Might be Moderators(Pando,Marist89,Jmodic,ChisLong) can throw some light.

Thanks
